Ok I was unsure whether to post mainly because my point & shoot digital struggled with the light in here and my pics are quite frankly some of my worst, however this is one of my favourite places to date & has not been covered much.
The building is grade 2 listed & on the local buildings at risk, it is described as...
Water mill. Late C18 or early C19 extended and rebuilt, 'AD 1840' on gable plaque. Coursed limestone with freestone dressings, red brick and timber-frame weather-boarded. (a older plaque is visible on the original rear wall once inside)
Three storeys and attics. Four original bays extended by two bays with lower range to south-east. Undershot wheel included into later building.
Interior mostly intact, with iron and wooden waterwheel c.14 feet diam and c.12 feet wide. The miller's house attached to the north-west was demolished in 1881.
I read somewhere that this was once opened as a museum but failed, this would explain the amount of unrelated machinery inside, anyway on with some pice.
